Richard Hawley - Dark Road Chords

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: standard

This is a pretty straight forward song to play. The other tab has got the chord 
progression completely wrong, as well as putting it in the wrong key.


Main riff (arranged for single guitarist):

             Bm(1 bar) E (1 bar)   A (2 bars)
e|-----------2---------0-----------0---------|
B|-----------3---------0-----------2---------|
G|-----------4---------1-----------2---------|
D|-----------4---------2-----------2---------|
A|-------0-2-2---------2-4-2-0-2-4-0---------|
E|-0-0-2---------------0----------------|


N/C              Bm
It’s a long dark road
E              A
That I call my home
(A)              Bm
It’s a long dark road
E                   A
That I’m cursed to roam

      Bm                    E
These many nights I’ve been banished here
      A             Dmaj7 (xx0222)
My companion is the stars
       Bm             E
With a bed-roll and a blanket
             A               Dmaj7
And just the rocks to lay my bones
    Bm           E
One day from the darkness
          A               Dmaj7
I’ll come rapping at your door
         Bm              E        A
And I’ll never walk this road any more

Solo (I've tabbed it out in an easy-to-play format, but I suspect Richard Hawley 
plays it on fewer strings, and slides between a lot more of the notes):

   Bm      E           A (2 bars)   Bm      E           A (2 bars)

It’s a long dark road
E              A
That I call my home
(A)              Bm

      A             Dmaj7 (xx0222)
My companion is the stars
       Bm             E
With a bed-roll and a blanket
             A               Dmaj7
And just the rocks to lay my bones
    Bm           E

          A               Dmaj7

         Bm              E        A
And I’ll never walk this road any more

         Bm              E        A
No I’ll never walk this road any more
         Bm              E        A
No I’ll never leave this home any more

Outro:

Bm E A A x4 (fades out on the album)




And that's all there is to it. I'm not 100% certain about that Dmaj7 chord, but 
otherwise it should work fine!
